Hosea 14

1 Return, O Israel, unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast stumbled in thine iniquity.

Obrati se, Izrailju, ka Gospodu Bogu svojemu, jer si pao svojega radi bezakonja.

2 Take with you words, and return unto the LORD; say unto Him: 'Forgive all iniquity, and accept that which is good; so will we render for bullocks the offering of our lips.

Uzmite sa sobom rijeèi, i obratite se ka Gospodu; recite mu: oprosti sve bezakonje, i primi dobro; i daæemo žrtve usana svojih.

3 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we call any more the work of our hands our gods; for in Thee the fatherless findeth mercy.'

Asirac nas ne može izbaviti, neæemo jahati na konjma, niti æemo više govoriti djelu ruku svojih: Bože naš; jer u tebe nalazi milost sirota.

4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for Mine anger is turned away from him.

Iscijeliæu otpad njihov, ljubiæu ih drage volje; jer æe se gnjev moj odvratiti od njega.

5 I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

Biæu kao rosa Izrailju, procvjetaæe kao ljiljan i pustiæe žile svoje kao drveta Livanska.

6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his fragrance as Lebanon.

Raširiæe se grane njegove, i ljepota æe mu biti kao u masline i miris kao Livanski.

7 They that dwell under his shadow shall again make corn to grow, and shall blossom as the vine; the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

Oni æe se vratiti i sjedjeti pod sjenom njegovijem, raðaæe kao žito i cvjetaæe kao vinova loza; spomen æe mu biti kao vino Livansko.

8 Ephraim shall say: 'What have I to do any more with idols?' As for Me, I respond and look on him; I am like a leafy cypress-tree; from Me is thy fruit found.

Jefreme, šta æe mi više idoli? Ja æu ga uslišiti i gledati; ja æu mu biti kao jela zelena; od mene je tvoj plod.

9 Whoso is wise, let him understand these things, whoso is prudent, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the just do walk in them; but transgressors do stumble therein.

Ko je mudar, neka razumije ovo; i razuman neka pozna ovo; jer su pravi putovi Gospodnji, i pravednici æe hoditi po njima, a prestupnici æe pasti na njima.
